noconnorandClaude Opus 5 135112eee5 mcp-config/hermes: make the gateway's context limits actually reach the clients
Folds in the in-flight local-checkout work and fixes the context accounting
on top of it. Both halves are the same bug seen from two ends: clients were
sending requests larger than the backend's window and getting hard
ContextWindowExceededError 400s, intermittently, in a way that looked like
the model or the GPU misbehaving.

Already in flight here (unchanged in intent):
  - sync.sh prefers the LOCAL CHECKOUT over re-downloading from Gitea, and
    install.sh records the checkout path so it can be found. That recording
    is load-bearing: without it sync.sh cannot find the repo, silently falls
    back to Gitea, and every local edit to opencode.gateway.json is ignored.
    Observed on this box — ~/.config/mcp-sync/source did not exist, the
    default ~/.dotfiles is not where the checkout lives, and the Gitea base
    still served models:{}.
  - the hermes custom-provider wiring.

Fixed on top:

opencode had NO context limit on ANY gateway model, not a wrong one. Two
faults compounded. /model/info 403s for a day-to-day virtual key (only
management-scoped keys may read it), which sync.sh treats as best-effort and
falls back to names-only — as designed and as commented. But the merge then
did `prov["models"] = models`, replacing the map wholesale, so limits
declared in the base config were discarded too and there was no floor left.
Base specs are now a floor that live /model/info overrides field by field:
discovery still wins where present, so this adds no drift, and a 403 no
longer strips the limits. Verified: ornith 195584/32768, the qwens
261120/32768.

hermes' model map named `qwen3-vl-30b-a3b` at 262144 — a model the gateway
stopped serving when Ornith replaced it — while ornith-1.0-35b, the model
actually on cg-1 AND the only one with a window smaller than its neighbours
(196608), had no entry at all and inherited Hermes' default. The one model
needing a lower ceiling was the one not declaring one, which is exactly the
shape that fails only once a session grows.

NOTE for other boxes: hermes reads ~/.hermes/config.yaml, which install.sh
produces by MERGING gateway.yaml. Editing gateway.yaml alone changes nothing
until install.sh re-runs — this machine's live config was patched by hand.

Not addressed here, deliberately: the gateway-side context_window_fallback
(ai-k8s-iac). It is wired but inert while cg-2 is scaled down, so preventing
the oversized request client-side is what actually works today.

# hermes/install.sh — install Hermes Agent by Nous Research, and point it at
# the covert-gpt LiteLLM gateway.
#
# WHY: Hermes requires Python 3.11+ and creates a self-contained venv at
# ~/.hermes. The official installer handles the complexity of managing its
# own uv-based Python environment. This module simply runs the official
# installer with --skip-setup so it completes in non-interactive mode.
# Everything under $HOME, survives Kasm redeploys.
#
# It then merges hermes/gateway.yaml into ~/.hermes/config.yaml, so a fresh box
# gets a Hermes that can actually talk to the gateway. Without that step Hermes
# installs and then points at nothing — the asymmetry mcp-config/ does not have,
# since opencode rebuilds its config from Gitea on every shell via sync.sh.
#
# No secrets are handled here: gateway.yaml references the key by NAME
# (key_env: LITELLM_KEY) and mcp-config/sync.sh exports it. Run
# mcp-config/install.sh first.
